It's using 1 launcher icon per container though, so no seamless tabbing sadly.

A

Arcitec•5/15/23, 10:37 PM

~~I will still try it.~~ It prints nothing to console for 1 second and then exits. Weird.

A

Arcitec•5/15/23, 10:44 PM

I got as far as

flatpak run dev.boxi.Boxi --help

flatpak run dev.boxi.Boxi --help

and seeing the

-c <name>

-c <name>

flag to enter a named container, which calls the toolbox binary as

'['flatpak-spawn', '--host', 'toolbox', 'run', '--container', '<name>', 'env', '-0']'

'['flatpak-spawn', '--host', 'toolbox', 'run', '--container', '<name>', 'env', '-0']'

. I think we're supposed to figure that out and make our own

.desktop

.desktop

files for each container. So not much better than manual Tilix profiles like I've done.

how would you guys feel about adding pcsc-tools ?

A

akdev•5/15/23, 11:13 PM

too niche? https://pcsc-tools.apdu.fr/

it is debugging tools for smartcards (yubikeys and stuff)

Very niche. Can they run in a distrobox by exporting the binaries to the host?

@bsherman Were you using dconf-editor too? I can't remember. I've fixed the Flatpak's bug now. It can now see all host schemas too. So my previous lamentation that we had to layer

dconf-editor

dconf-editor

natively is no longer gonna be the case after this is merged:

So if you wanna be sure a user has it for Flatpaks before updates, you can ensure that your yafti first boot runs:

flatpak install ---system org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3 org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3-dark

flatpak install ---system org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3 org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3-dark

flatpak install ---system org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3 org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3-dark

flatpak install ---system org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3 org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3-dark

So it seems to behave the same as nvidia/amd drivers: Installed on

flatpak update

flatpak update

.

pythoner6•5/16/23, 1:46 AM

Oh maybe it's because you're installing things as system flatpaks? I definitely had it auto install the theme flatpak when I installed another flatpak

A

Arcitec•5/16/23, 1:47 AM

Exact same result if I do --user instead. No theme.

A

Arcitec•5/16/23, 1:49 AM

Actually, wow, even though I said "no" to installing it during

flatpak update

flatpak update

it has still installed itself, and if I try to remove it, it's saying that every Flatpak depends on it now, so they would uninstall too.

So I can't test the thing you're saying. ^^ It's glued in there now. So there's a good chance that you're right that it installs itself during

flatpak install <something else>

flatpak install <something else>

too.

Arcitec•5/16/23, 2:42 AM

Yikes, dconf-editor as Flatpak was totally unusable. It was showing the wrong data (Flatpak environment's rather than the host's) and was unable to see the host environment at all. RIP to anyone who was using it:

https://github.com/flathub/ca.desrt.dconf-editor/pull/24

Pretty amazing how those bugs escaped notice for 2111 days (first Flatpak release was on Aug 4, 2017).

Arcitec•5/16/23, 3:26 PM

@hermmm and I are trying to figure out an appropriate name for a special branch on the

startingpoint

startingpoint

repo:

The layout will be:

-

template

template

: Untouched template branch, which comes from the startingpoint repo itself. People don't modify it. It's used for easy fast-forwarding / syncing of repos to update their local copy of the template.
-

<something>

<something>

: The ONLY branch that gets deployed (published) to GHCR. All other branches will merely build but won't deploy. This ensures total control over GHCR publishing.

We need a name for

<something>

<something>

.

Names that have been considered and rejected:

-

deploy

deploy

or

deployment

deployment

: Very accurate names but also very ugly word.
-

public

public

: I thought about it but all branches are public, so it makes no sense.
-

release

release

: Too confusing since Releases are a GitHub feature.
-

production

production

: Strange name.

Uncertain names:

-

custom

custom

: Decent but doesn't make it clear to anybody that this is the ONLY branch that gets published to live GHCR.

Leading names (clearest names so far):

-

publish

publish

: The only branch that is published to GHCR.
-

live

live

: The branch that goes live (deploys).

I like live, it's a noun but implies the same thing

A

Arcitec•5/16/23, 3:27 PM

I agree, it's a neat name.

X

xyny•5/16/23, 3:27 PM

Other one could be

prod

prod

prod being short for production

A

Arcitec•5/16/23, 3:28 PM

Maybe, but still unclear. I definitely think

live

live

is the clearest name so far.

xyny•5/16/23, 3:28 PM

Agreed

A

Arcitec•5/16/23, 3:29 PM

I would love to hear some other opinions to decide if we should settle on that name, think you'll be on in like 1-2 hours when we'll hopefully have heard someone else? Or should I just go for it and force-push new commits that switch to

live

live

? It's a good name, could get used to it quickly.

A

Arcitec•5/16/23, 3:30 PM

It's a clear name, purpose is obvious, and it's not a verb so it doesn't sound weird in that way.

A

Arcitec•5/16/23, 3:31 PM

So depending on how you feel about it, I could have updated commits ready in 5 minutes.

Arcitec•5/16/23, 4:00 PM

I am not sure. The repo's own existing workflow file should be the one that runs. It would be a literal exploit if I could submit a pull request where I change teh workflow to submit code to GHCR. I could literally make a PR to ublue-os/main that installs a virus if that were the case.

So I dunno why it's not running the old workflow on the current PR! It should be running the old

main

main

workflow, not my edits!

Anyway, the changes are two things:

1. The publish to GHCR only happens if the branch is named

live

live

. That part is simple and is taken care of at the bottom of the workflow. No issues there.
2. The auto-trigger workflows are changed to the following:
